Solar Panel Stand for Increased Energie Harvesting

thingiverse

How much energy you can earn from a solar panel depends on how intensely the sun shines on its surface. To maximize your energy earnings, position your panel to face directly towards the sun. When done accurately, this simple adjustment can double your daily energy harvest. Finding a spot that consistently faces the sun can be challenging. But as the day progresses and the sun moves across the sky, you'll need to relocate your panel. At some point, it's essential to find a new spot where the sun shines brightly on the panel. The provided video showcases an adjustable stand that allows for effortless solar panel positioning. Additionally, it visually illustrates how sunlight interacts with the panel throughout different seasons and times of day.

As explained in my blog entry at ewap.ch/solarpannel-zur-sonne-ausrichten/, I prefer not to charge my smartphone directly from the solar panel. Instead, I use it during the day and recharge it in the evening. To make this work efficiently, I charge a USB power bank throughout the day using the solar panel's energy. Later that night, I utilize the charged power bank to replenish my phone's battery. This approach allows me to collect one full charge for my phone or about 50% charge for my tablet within a single day.
